I just found another blog to subscribe to.

Awesome article. Don’t forget to watch the video about pasta sauce.

Trust me, it will make sense.

Those wacky South Koreans have a cell phone that can do just about anything. The LG L2000 adds to its home-country’s list of feature phones as a “Leisure Phone.” The L2000 Leisure Phone gives golfers a hand in judging distance to the hole, electronic scorecards, and a depth finder for the fishermen. The phone packs in a 3.2 inch 480 x 320 touchscreen, DMB TV, SiRF Star III GPS chipset, 128MB of flash, 128MB RAM, and an Intel PXA270 cpu – clocked a 520Mhz – powering Windows CE Net 5.0. We’re not likely to ever see this thing stateside, so don’t get too excited about the LG L2000.

Boy, do we love patent applications (especially from the fellas in Cupertino)! This newest snippet from the USPTO gives hint to a possible un-announced feature in the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone. The patent mentions a “wireless controller can be a portable remote controller, and the host device can be a personal computer, a home stereo, a portable media player, or a docking station for a portable media player.” Word on the street has it that “compatible handheld devices, such as a mobile phone,” can control a Mac or Apple TV. Cross your fingers Apple fanboys!

Those waves of radiation emitting from your cell phone have been linked to everything from cancer and brain cell death to infertility. Now, a new (and controversial, as these things go) report links cell phone radiation to crop failure – as a result of the “radiation from mobile phones…interfering with bees’ navigation systems.” The effect of the bees’ subsequent inability to go about their happy pollinating ways has been theorized to be the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD.

I may be the only person wishing a quick and painless death of the Nokia PC Suite, but the question about how the next version should be written always looms above my head.

At first I thought it should be a website.

No, no, not powerful enough.

Adobe Apollo?

A lot more appealing.

Well today Microsoft just announced SilverLight. It’s the new marketing term for what us geeks have been calling Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere (WPF/E) for a little over a year.

People always say that "phones are limited by small screen sizes." I don’t buy into this theory. Phones are supposed to be small.

I’m thinking about this problem from another angle: Accessing and manipulating the data on your mobile device should be easier and require fewer steps.

In the same way that I can read Engadget anywhere due to it’s RSS feed, I should have access to my contacts, documents, images, calender data and text messages on any device connected to the net.

All the ingredients are there: Python for S60 gives you access to all the important S60 API’s. Project Raccoon is Apache on your mobile device so now your data can be sent anywhere. Now we have Adobe Apollo and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) SilverLight that are redefining what an application is and where it will be running.

My only problem is who is going to build this?

While these preliminary screen shots might not be of high quality, you can definitely spot a similarity to Maemo.

Did Nokia (NYSE: NOK) create a product category and now others are taking notice or has Intel had this idea sitting in the back burner and only now just starting to talk about it?

At least Intel is using the Mozilla rendering engine, something I strongly prefer to Opera.

I welcome the competition and I certainly think this is a good thing for our industry.

In the year 2006 36% of the mobile phones sold were made by Nokia (NYSE: NOK).

CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo wants to hit 40%.

Good luck! I certainly think it’s possible.

No specs, no dialogue, just an experience captured on 1 minute of film. I like it:

Look at what this guy did to his TV!

Oh the humanity!

We seriously need some docks so people like digi snacks will stop drilling holes into their television.

You know … I bet you the N95 is more expensive than that LCD.

Phil has the details, I’m just relaying the message:

S60 was the first to bring full HTML browser in mobile devices providing a desktop-like browsing experience.

Now, S60 cordially invites you to attend a live audiocast as
Chief Technology Officer Tero Ojanperä, Nokia (NYSE: NOK), presents how Nokia and
S60 enhance the Internet experience further.

The audiocast takes place on Monday April 16, 2007 at 1.15 p.m. CET.

To listen to the audiocast log on at
www.s60.com/business/newsevents/audiocast on Monday April 16. A related
press release will be available on the same day after 12.00 CET at
www.s60.com and www.nokia.com prior to the audiocast.

The audiocast together with the presentation will be available for view on demand approximately one hour after the audiocast.

That’s 06:15 for everyone in Texas, 07:15 for New Yorker’s and 04:15 for people in California.

I’m happy it will be available on demand. I’m practically comatose for the first 15 minutes after I wake up.
